DIY: Quick & Affordable Hair Glossing at Home!

I heard about hair glossing for the first time only few months ago. I honestly can't believe I haven't had it done at the salon previously and that my hairdresser never really offered me hair glossing. In the past, to prevent my hair's color dullness, I would dye my hair to a similar to natural shade and enjoy a beautiful shiny hair for approximately 4 weeks. I tried to use the least damaging hair dye as possible, but each time my hair color was getting darker and darker, which I didn't like. Then one day I stumbled upon John Frieda Hair Glaze. This product cost around $9 and in my opinion is worth every penny. I actually ordered it from Ulta and at the time they had John Frieda promotion buy 1 get one 50% off, so I added Liquid Shine Perfecting Glosser for brunettes.

John Frieda luminous GLAZE Clear Shine Hair Gloss

John Frieda Hair Glaze has a milky color and pretty runny consistence. On the packaging it says to use the product at least 3 times a week and apply from roots to ends for around 10min. after shampooing and conditioning and then rinse. Now, I have oily hair, so if you don't have that problem, the glaze might actually work even better for you. Anyways, after first application my hair was insanely soft and glossy. I couldn't stop touching it and I loved the finished effect, which unfortunately lasted only one day because on the second day my scalp got really oily. So the week following, I decided that I won't apply the glaze from the roots, but concentrate on the middle section and ends. Also instead of 3 times a week, I start using it once-twice a week. That was the best option for me, because I could enjoy a beautiful soft and shiny hair for at least 2 days. The hair looks very healthy and even the ends looks less damaged. I am in love with this product and I think it does work great and the effects are visible immediately!

Liquid Shine Glosser is a clear gel that I apply after washing my hair, on towel dry hair from middle section to ends. I use it almost every single time I wash my hair because it does not make my hair more oily and it gives it a nice softness and combined with Hair Glaze, the effects are wonderful!

Summary:

If you are looking for a quick and immediate result these two products are a must-haves. I think for the price you pay, they work magic and make my dull hair shiny, glossy and so soft! Also if you have an event/birthday party/wedding etc. coming soon and you don't feel like spending lots of money on a hairdresser, these two will make your hair looks like a million bucks. I used it few times before curling my hair and the curls turned out so pretty and glossy, I actually got lots of compliments!
